Basdenās stock seems to be rising. He showed the Nets defensive skills in 1-on-1 and 2-on-2 drills.
āWith me, defense became a thing of pride,ā Basden said. āSomebody has to do it because if everybody wants to score on both teams, itās just going to be an āoutscore the othersā match.ā

Like the Spurs - Suns series? These two teams seem to do okay.
Great piece on Eddie! Thatās the kind of press the Niners need to counter the negative fallout from the Iti debacle.
GO NINERS!!!

So, which one of you is going to thank the Post for this mention and also tell them we are CHARLOTTE or at least DUMP THE DAMN HYPHEN!!!
I am ion the UNNC-RAleighj Library and this keyboard is an SOB. Someone spilled drink in it. So excuse my typing.
I donā;t under stand what the biog deal with the hyphen is, the name stinks either way IMO. I know its officiallly no hyphen, but I would not think anyone to be less educated cause they use a hyphen. The hyphen is natural.
They should have just said Charlotte however since that is our athletic name, but UNC-Charlotte is more descriptive. Someone (i donāt knopw who) might not understand what school ācharlotteā is. After all, the school is named UNC-Charlotte. At least they didnāt call us UNC or North Carolina-Charlotte. Cut them slack. We are the ones witha dumb name.
[b]".......... if everybody wants to score on both teams, it's just going to be an 'outscore the others' match." [/b]
This quote shows that eddie has mastered the fundamental rules of basketball.
Love Eddie, hope he somehow knocks out some more workouts and squeezes into the late first round. Dont know how realistic that is, but I hope so, heās a great kid.
Still funny to me that he does get alot of defensive hype despite being on a couple of the worst defensive teams Iāve seen around here. Weāre gonna miss ya, Eddie!

Maybe not the Spurs and the Suns, but it hurt the Mavs. [/b]
Thatās because the Mavs tried to play Defense with avery Johnson coaching them.

[b] That's because the Mavs tried to play Defense with avery Johnson coaching them.[/b]True, but Nelson didn't do much better. Dallas will never get rid of Nowitski and because of that will never get a ring. Nowitski is a good 2nd - 3rd option but he can't carry the load by himself plus he only plays on offense. Who was it on this board that called him "Irk" Nowitski ?(no D). :lol:

His reasoning were Dirkās size and shooting ability. He said Bird was good because he was always surrounded by 2-3 Hall of Famers.
He said he also made this same comment on the radio in Boston as well.

How do you make that comment on the radio in Boston, being a radio personality, and still have a job??

Cornbread is one of my all time sports heroes. He was a physical genius with a b-ball near the basket. But his attitude and beliefs that he voices on FNZ are annoying and absurd. Perfect, I guess for that format, but heād never be a friend of mine.

Iron,
You said it, I am not sure who else wants to hear it, but I am of a similar opinion you are.
